Yeah dude T5s work great gor vegging. I have the 4ft 4 bulb set up and cant complain a bit. Ive even contemplated scrogging a plant under it start to finish just for a lil experiment
I've been contemplating it as well. Even though I've been known to question the point of growing autos inside, I still have a Pandora bean left that I might make the test subject. It was a very good auto IMO and with the excellent branching and modest odor of the last 2 it might make a good candidate during the "offseason." Having the light running in the fall/winter months would provide so cheap warmth to my mycology projects as well. Last year I was running a space heater on its lowest setting. I'd probably just keep the 6500K bulbs in and throw a few CFLs in later on for good measure.
they dont just fly in pa. someone has to find them on the ground first. and if they find more then 5 and its a thick area and they think they missed some they fly. i grew some when i was a kid. got afraid called the cops told them i founf it stupid cops told me all about it. and they didnt even find them. all.
I think you are right. I find it highly unlikely that they would do random flyovers in most parts of the state. I'm pretty sure someone would have to report it or they would need to have reasonable suspicion first. Even if they did, I think it would be difficult to spot anything less that 10-15 plants in most cases. Unless they were like in the middle of an uncultivated corn field or something else that is blatantly obvious.
Another good reason to keep it under 10 plants, at least in one location. I'm not sure if you guys are aware of this but the cultivation of 10 or more plants in our great commonwealth carries a mandatory minimum 1 year sentence, although possibility of probation for first offense. Not really sure how that works, but sure as hell don't want to find out. I'm assuming if you're a "good guy" the DA can drop the cultivation charge and charge you with something else to avoid the mandatory minimum.
Pennsylvania Marijuana Penalties
Not out to try to scare anyone, but I think we should all be aware of the potential consequences of our hobby before we even consider putting a seed in the ground. I think a good majority of the individuals who use this board live in states/countries where the laws concerning growing, posessing, and selling cannabis aren't as harsh, so it's easy to forget that this can really jam us up in the unfortunate event that we are caught. Hopefully at some point our government realizes that these laws are causing more harm to our society than the behaviors they were meant to prevent.
